Teacher washes boy's mouth with soap

Teacher suspended for washing student's mouth out with soap
ROCHESTER, New York (AP) -- An elementary school teacher was placed on paid leave for washing a boy's mouth out with soap after he shouted an obscenity at a classmate.

Lori Thomas, 48, who has taught for six years at inner-city School 22, said she was stunned when a 10-year-old boy directed "a vile, very nasty ****** reference" at a third-grade girl in March.

Thomas said she didn't want the boy, who had frequently been sent home for unruly behavior, to earn another one-week suspension.

She took the boy to the nurse's office, she said, "put a drop of soap on his lower lip, washed it out immediately and told him I never wanted to hear filth like that coming out of his mouth again."

"Old-fashioned ways work," she said unapologetically.

The boy behaved for the remainder of the day and didn't complain to his foster mother, Thomas said. The boy's brother told district officials what had happened, she said.

Thomas was suspended indefinitely. The district could either fire Thomas -- even though tenure provides such teachers "a lot of protection" -- or level "a lesser amount of discipline," said Joanne Giuffrida, personnel chief in the 6,000-employee school district.

"I wish we could have handled this more expeditiously too," Giuffrida said. She said an investigation will likely be completed within two weeks.

More than 40 relatives of children in Thomas' class have asked for her to be reinstated.
For f*cks sake :cantbeli:

I had my mouth washed out with soap when I was 5 years old. I said something really bad to my mother. I'm 23 years old and guess what? I still don't curse in front of my mother.

You should give that teacher a medal instead of suspending fo christ sake :cantbeli:

Quick!
Somebody get Dan Rather over there...there's torture going on right here in our own country.

Good on her for using a little old-fashioned discipline. Too bad she'll get punished for it.

[Abolith]

heh I cursed in front of my mom back in may at a birthday celebration. She snuck up behind me and stuck a bar of soap in my mouth when I wasn't paying attention rofl

I think this teacher did a very good thing and should be prasied NOT punished. Hell I say let them use the ol` ruler to break some knuckles.....

[Roger Rabbit]

by the sounds of it most of you had violent mothers :P

[SEALInTheMaking]

Thats hilarious! I love how people make such a huge deal out of this stuff. I had my mouth washed out regularly when I was little. (I was a fan of the Dawn personally, had a more mild taste) The things is, I never swear in front of my Mom anymore, so I think it works pretty well.

Not violent, just resourceful. If you've ever had a mouthful of kitchen soap you know you never want it again...

Two weeks?

She did it

It worked.

Repeat with other children, if necessary.

That took about 15 seconds

Okay before I tell this story, I need to let you know my brother has Aspergers Autism (it means he's really ****ed up)

I came upstairs one day to my mom and my bro screaming at eachother, and I could tell my bro hadnt taken his pills, because his eyes were glowing like he was on speed. My mom yells at him to get in his room, he replys with "**** YOU BITCH" She screams back "Im going to wash your mouth out with soap" He runs into his bathroom, comes out with the hand soap dispenser, and I **** you not, starts pumping it into his mouth. He's doing this on his own will. My mom and I are doing everything we can not to laugh. My little brother is now foaming at the mouth while swearing his head off at my mom, which makes the situation even funnier, he tweaks out and tries to attack the dog, but the dog takes off running, so he gets even more pissed, and Grabs this thing of White-Out and starts spraying the **** all over the house, then finally goes out the front door (while foaming still mind you) My mom and I laughed about that **** for like 20 mins, I seriosly could write a book about all the ****-tarded things my brother does.

[Trigger]

Does he like the buttsex too?

[Midtown]

I can set you up with him if wanted.

[Abolith]

I seriosly could write a book about all the f***-tarded things my brother does.


maybe you should (just change names to protect the inoccent ) you could make fortune....people in this day and age need a good laugh.

rofl @Midtown

[Midtown]

hmm, i have been thinking about it for some time, And It's really not to bad of an idea. I could at least put a small book out, even with pictures of the little monster. He has one of those glazed over looks like a mass murderer has. My mom always tells people "If you ever find tom (my dad) or I dead, spencer (my bro) did it.)

[Midtown]

HAHA I just called my mom up (she works in the same building) and said "we should seriosly write a book about him"
She goes "Thats what Grandma always tells me, that we should"
I go, "the story about the soap has enough comedic value alone"
She goes "My favorite is when he maced himself"

I just started laughing my ass off, I didnt know about that one.

I work in the public education system, and I agree. For serious problems they see the principal, but most of the time I am limited to sending them to "The Wall" for 5 minutes. Works on the little ones, but middle school kids don't care. :roll:

Too bad for the teach!

The problem is that you work with a system of punishment instead of a system of rewards. Use ****s. ;)

:lol: Well that was funny, I'll give you that much.

[Haiw]

No 'reward'? :( ;)

[Rain]

O I'm sorry Haiw!!!

:hug:

[Haiw]

That's not what I meant!

*chanting crowd* ****S FOR BOYS! ****S FOR BOYS! ****S FOR BOYS!

[Rain]

Always the ****s!!!!! From soap in the mouth to ****s.. NO ****s for you!

woot

[Haiw]

Are you the female soup nazi or something? "No ****s for you!" :( Our male feelings are being oppressed.

[Rain]

O my.. Have a Tang and relax.

:petting: It's gonna be ok!

[Haiw]

Mommy didn't love me! Freud only covered half the story; I've got ****-envy.

Soap? That's nothing. Sister Theresa used to have these 8"x8" wooden plaques - one for each letter of the alphabet.

You learned real quick to hate those when she'd scold a student and say "go and bring me the first letter of your name".

WHACK WHACK WHACK

I went to public schools my entire life and we still got paddled. Teachers could paddle their own students in elementary school. In my high school, you could choose to be paddled to get out of detention. All you had to have was a signed note from mom and dad, then whack! your ass was grass. Big thing, too--wooden, about 2 feet long with holes drilled in it. Hurt like hell, I heard. Ah, discipline in a small, Southern town...

[MEGR]

My dad did that to my bro when he said a bad word..

[Fintin]

my comments:

my father was born in rochester new york...i still have a lot of family there...might go visit in a week or two....good food

soap in the mouth...been there....never in school...but still...untill i just took the bar bit a chunk of and chewed...that kinda killed the idea as punishment...i actualy liked it

i think it should be fully allowed...people when they are married should be given a list of proper punishment techneques....and what ones are suitable for what transgressions...and the same goes for schools...a bit of leather strap on the ass never hurt anyone too bad...sure its sore for the day..but you get over it learn and grow up

[Midav]

Go teacher!

[Midtown]

wack the little ****s with a lacrosse stick.
